<br>when I looked at this stuff for pyroute[1], one of the problems running a server like that <br>is you don't necessarily want the server to be able to interpret the information stored on it <br>(i.e. when you publish location to a specific group, you'd need to use that group's public- <br>
key before uploading it)<br><br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Pyroute_share_server">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Pyroute_share_server</a><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 13, 2008 4:01 PM, Robert (Jamie) Munro <<a href="mailto:rjmunro@arjam.net">rjmunro@arjam.net</a>> wrote:<br>
